How do we check your benefits?
- Call (832) 612-2831 or book online and share your insurance details (member ID, group number and the name of the main policyholder). If it’s your first visit, see what to bring.
- We contact your plan to confirm eligibility and what it covers for exams, cleanings, X-rays and common treatment.
- At your visit, the dentist explains what you need. Before any treatment, you get a written estimate showing what insurance is expected to pay and your share.
Insurance estimates are not a guarantee of payment. Your plan makes the final decision when the claim is processed, and things like annual maximums, waiting periods and frequency limits can change what it pays.
Does Medicare cover dental care?
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover routine dental care such as checkups, cleanings, fillings or dentures. Many Medicare Advantage plans add dental benefits, and we accept Medicare Advantage plans with dental coverage. Learn more on our senior dentistry page.
Do you accept Medicaid or CHIP?
Yes, for children. We accept Texas Medicaid and CHIP dental plans for kids through DentaQuest, MCNA and UnitedHealthcare (UHC) Dental. Children on these plans can see us from age 1 for exams, cleanings, fluoride and sealants, and for fillings and extractions too. If a child needs to be sedated for treatment, we refer you to a pediatric dentist.
We are not in network for adult Medicaid. Adults can still be seen using our self-pay prices and financing.
What if you don’t have dental insurance?
You can still get care here. We publish self-pay prices for new patient visits and several common treatments on our dental prices page, and anything else gets a written estimate before treatment. We accept Cherry, Sunbit and CareCredit for patient financing (see financing options), and you can use an FSA or HSA card for dental treatment.
When to call us
Call (832) 612-2831 if you are not sure whether your plan is accepted, if your benefits reset soon, or if you have a toothache or broken tooth and want to know what your plan covers. We’re open Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, 9am–3pm.
